ATI Inc., a leading producer of high-performance materials and solutions for sectors like aerospace & defense, electronics, medical, and specialty energy, continues to tackle the world’s most challenging material science problems. The company has announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2024, marking its ninth consecutive quarter with sales exceeding $1 billion. The report highlights sales of $1.05 billion and a net income attributable to ATI of $82.7 million, or $0.57 per share.
Key financial metrics from the third quarter indicate a slight year-over-year sales increase of 2%, reaching $1.05 billion. However, net income saw an 8% decline compared to the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA rose by 14% year-over-year to $185.7 million, reflecting strategic efforts to improve operating efficiency. The aerospace and defense sector remains a significant driver, contributing 62% of the sales this quarter. The company also announced a new $700 million share repurchase authorization, reinforcing its commitment to shareholder returns.
Segment-wise, the High Performance Materials & Components (HPMC) division reported sales of $552.4 million, showing resilience despite a 2% decline from the previous quarter. This was due to increased demand for next-generation commercial jet engine products, which compensated for reduced sales in medical and industrial markets. Meanwhile, the Advanced Alloys & Solutions (AA&S) segment witnessed a sales decline of 7% from the previous quarter, attributed to lower sales in aerospace, defense, and energy markets, though electronics sales showed a positive trend.
Despite challenges such as industry-wide slowdowns and supply chain disruptions, ATI remains focused on controlling what it can to improve performance. The management is optimistic about long-term demand and remains committed to its strategic focus on aerospace, defense, and similar markets. The company’s updated guidance for 2024 reflects this optimism, albeit with adjusted expectations in financial targets due to prevailing uncertainties.
